"Emperor Qi's sons and daughters don't want to stay in the capital." After Chu Lian received the holy decree, he did not step down from the platform, but stepped forward and prayed to Chu Qi Palace.

Chu Qigong was very surprised when he heard Chu Lian's request, so he immediately asked, "Why don't you want to stay in the capital?" ”

"Back to my father, although the capital is a rich and stable place, the sons feel that it is too comfortable, which is not beneficial to the growth of the sons and daughters." Chu Lian explained, "The son heard that the lord of the northern county was very old, and he had repeatedly begged his father to allow him to return to his hometown, but his father had always thought that no one in the court could take on this position, so he never gave permission. ”

"Therefore, the son-in-law recommended himself like Mao Sui today, and implored his father to let the son-in-law go to the northern county to take up this position." Chu Lian pleaded.

When they sat down, the crowd was in an uproar again.

"It seems that these four highnesses are not mediocre people, and they are willing to give up the glory and wealth of the capital and go to the barbarian land of the northern county."

"I have long heard that although His Royal Highness has lived in the deep palace for a long time, he is familiar with history books, has learned five cars, and his ability is equal to that of His Royal Highness!"

The discussion of everyone in the audience was also stopped in Chu Qigong's ears.

"Do you know that this northern county is a barbarian land, and the people are fierce. It was the original place of the Khitan Liao State, and the rebellions came and went, and they have not been quelled. You have to be prepared to endure hardships when you go there! Chu Qigong said to Chu Lian earnestly.

"Erchen knew that the northern county was the territory of the original Khitan Liao Kingdom, and the thieves who attacked the palace this time were also Khitans, and Erchen thought that it was inseparable from the negligence of the northern county lord. Therefore, the sons are willing to guard this place for their father, so that their father can rest easy in the palace. Chu Lian explained.

"Erchen, I am also willing to be like Brother Sanhuang, and I can serve Daqi." Chu Lian knelt down and pleaded.

Chu Qigong immediately turned his head and smiled at Chu Juechen: "It seems that your fourth brother is unwilling to share your worries!" What do you think? ”

"Back to my father, it is rare for the fourth emperor brother to have the heart to share his father's worries, and my father has no reason not to approve the fourth emperor brother to go to the northern county to serve." Chu Jiechen said. Now that Chu Jiechen didn't know what tricks Chu Lian wanted to play, he also knew that this matter was not simple, but at this time, he couldn't help Chu Lian not go.

"Good!" After hearing this, Chu Qigong hahaha said, "It's rare that Lian'er is willing to share worries for me, so why don't I let you go?" I'm ready, you first rest in the capital for a few days, and then set off on a certain day. ”

"Thank you for your father's grace!" A weird smile appeared on Chu Lian's face. Although it was only for a moment, it was still captured by Qin Liusu.

"Queen, can you prepare for this imperial banquet?" Chu Qigong asked Bai Yalian beside him.

"Back to the emperor, the concubine has been unwell for the past few days, so she will leave everything to Liusu." Bai Yalian held her head and pretended to be uncomfortable.

"Oh?" Chu Qigong asked with some surprise, "Can Qin Liumo hold such a big banquet now?" ”

"Your Majesty. You don't know, Liusu is extraordinary, everything is handled in an orderly manner, and it is well done. Bai Yalian said beside Chu Qigong.

"Liusu, are you ready?" Chu Qigong asked.

"Back to my father, my sons have arranged everything." Qin Liusu replied, and then clapped his hands.

"The banquet begins~"

The vocal music sounded, and the singers and dancers took the stage.

"Are all the dishes ready?" Thrush asked anxiously backstage.

"Auntie, rest assured, everything is ready." A chef in the Imperial Dining Room said as he manipulated a large spoon. Because the weather was too hot, he didn't care about anything indecent, anyway, no one else saw it, so he simply went naked, revealing a whole body of fat, "The Tianshan Snow Lotus that Changhui Niangniang brought this time is really delicious, take it to make Tianshan Snow Lotus Soup, I dare to guarantee that the emperor will definitely eat it, and I want to eat the second bowl after eating a bowl, and I want to eat the third bowl after eating the second bowl." ”

"Don't be poor, hurry up." When the thrush heard him say this, she put her heart down.

"What? Qin Liusu is ordering someone to make snow lotus soup in the sky? The man was dressed in black, with a mask on his face, and he couldn't see an expression, but he could tell in his voice that he was worried.

"That's right, it's indeed Tianshan Snow Lotus Soup, what doubts does the door master have?" The other masked man in the hall asked.

"Do you know, more than 30 years ago, the emperor was still young, once went to the Tianshan Mountains to play, noisy to eat Tianshan snow lotus soup, so the servants who followed the emperor since childhood climbed to the highest place of the Tianshan Mountain to pick the Tianshan snow lotus. But who knew that he accidentally fell off the cliff and was handsome, so the emperor swore never to eat Tianshan snow lotus soup again! ”

"According to the sect master, Qin Liusu may anger the emperor?" The man in black in the hall asked.

"Yes!" The man in black in the hall sighed and said, "Now it's up to them to make their own!" ”

…………

The singing and dancing on the stage leveled out, and various performances won applause from everyone. At this time, all kinds of delicacies and delicacies from the mountains and seas behind the stage have been prepared, and they are placed one after another in front of the tables of Chu Qigong and Baiguan.

Chu Qigong drank with hundreds of officials, and he was very happy.

"Snow lotus soup on the Heavenly Mountain!" Fusheng loudly burst out the last dessert of the feast.

One by one, the Tianshan snow lotus soup, which also exudes a rich sweet fragrance and the fragrance of Tianshan snow lotus, was brought out.

Chu Qigong looked at the snow-white and rich heavenly snow lotus, slapped the table, and loudly reprimanded: "Bold Qin Liusu! Don't you know that I have vowed not to eat any dishes made by the Tianshan Snow Lotus since I was a child? How dare you make so many Tianshan snow lotus soup on such an occasion, what should you be guilty of? ”

As soon as Thrush and the others heard that Chu Qigong was so angry, they were so frightened that they immediately knelt on the ground.

"Tell the emperor, yes...... It was the queen mother who said that the emperor would use this one hundred and twenty bowls of heavenly snow lotus soup to reward hundreds of officials. Thrush explained on his knees.

"Nonsense, how can you little girl spew blood? The mourning family clearly said that the mourning family was unwell, and asked Liusu to arrange this time for the mourning family. The queen shouted loudly, then turned to Chu Qigong and said, "Your Majesty, don't listen to the girl's nonsense."

"If the emperor doesn't believe it, he can ask the lady of the waiter's department, she was also present that day." Thrush argued.

"The female officer of the Xuanwu Division!"

"The female officer of the waiter department sees the emperor and queen!" On the same day, the female officer of the waiter department was announced to the general's platform.

"I ask you, how did the queen pass the decree to Qin Liusu that day?"

"Go back to the emperor, but the queen just let Changhui Niangniang handle the banquet with full authority, and did not say that she must make Tianshan Snow Lotus Soup." The waitress secretly glanced at Qin Liusu, who was on the side, and said, "I also reminded Changhui Niangniang, but Niangniang kept reminding her and insisted on doing it." ”

"Your Majesty, you heard it, this is Qin Liusu, but he is disrespectful to the emperor! And this girl is also squirting with blood, come on, drag this girl out of her mouth first. The queen said viciously to the thrush.

Immediately, two fathers-in-law came up, dragged the thrush and walked off the stage.

"Wait!" Qin Liusu, who had been silent, suddenly said loudly.

"Enlighten the Emperor! This matter was indeed specially done by Erchen. Qin Liusu stepped forward and said, "Erchen knows that his father was also unintentional back then, but the emperor has always felt guilty and heartfelt, and no longer eats Tianshan snow lotus soup. ”

"But the emperor can't let the deceased rest in peace! The emperor has always been guilty like this, how can the deceased be reincarnated as a human under the nine springs with peace of mind? Therefore, Liusu specially ordered people to select the best Tianshan Snow Lotus from the Tianshan Mountains to cook this Tianshan Snow Lotus Soup for the emperor. ”

"The son begs his father to drink this bowl of Tianshan Snow Lotus Soup, so that the deceased can rest in peace, but also the father's heart is sick."

Qin Liusu knelt on the ground and explained to Chu Qigong.

When Chu Qigong heard Qin Liusu say this, he also felt justified in his heart, so he picked up the bowl of Tianshan Snow Lotus Soup, and said to the heavens with peace of mind: "Ah Ren, you rest in peace!" Immediately, as soon as he raised his head, a bowl of Tianshan Snow Lotus Soup was drunk into Chu Qigong's stomach.

The fragrant Tianshan Snow Lotus Soup slowly flowed into Chu Qigong's abdomen through his throat, and the sweet and simple air impacted the taste of all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas over the years.

"My heart that has been hanging for so many years has finally been relaxed, this soup is indeed delicious, and you have bothered with Liusu." Chu Qigong was in danger, and this said to Qin Liusu.

"Being able to eliminate a wish in my father's heart is within the son's responsibility." Qin Liusu replied respectfully.

"What reward do you want?" Chu Jiechen is happy at this time, and all kinds of valuable rewards are bound to be within the question.

"The father has already given a lot of rewards to Liusu, and the sons and daughters are indeed deserved to accept the rewards of their fathers." Qin Liusu replied, "But Liusu does have something to ask for. ”

"What do you want?" Chu Qigong asked.

"The sons want their father's grace and the emperor's permission to allow the sons to leave the palace and go home." Qin Liusu replied to Chu Qigong.

Chu Qigong was very surprised when he heard Qin Liusu's words, so he asked puzzledly: "According to the rules of the palace, you should have three months before you can leave the palace." Are you not used to living in the palace? Why are you in a hurry to leave the palace? ”

"The sons live very well in the palace, and the father and the queen are also very good at taking care of the sons, but the father has just passed away, and he is only over the first seven, and the elder brother is busy dealing with the affairs of the palace, and the sons have been in the palace and can't go out, so that no one wears filial piety in front of the father's grave. It really makes other people laugh. ”

"Therefore, the son begs his father that he can approve the son to leave the palace and keep filial piety for his father for three years." Although Qin Liusu knew that Qin Zhengyang was still alive, she really didn't want to stay in the palace anymore, this palace was too depressing for her, and if she stayed a little longer, she might really be forced to die.

"So that's the case, this is indeed my negligence, and I am also very sad about Zhengyang's death, how can I see that he has no filial piety in front of his grave?" Chu Qigong said, "Since ancient times, filial piety has come first, how can I disagree? That's it! ”

"The son-in-law thanked his father for his favor, but the son-in-law still has something to ask for." Qin Liusu continued, "Erchen hopes to take Qing Ming, the palace maid of Chaoyang Palace, out of the palace with him. ”

"What did you say the man's name was?" Chu Qigong seemed to hear a name deep in his memory.
